“You don’t like any of my pies—do you, Rainbow Dash?!”

“Yes, I do, Pinkie Pie!”

“Did you even eat any of them?!”

“I absolutely did!”

“How can I know that you even took a bite out of them?!”

“Erm—girls? Could you please not…?”

“I took a bite so small that you couldn’t see it!”

“Erm—excuse me? Where are these pies?”

---

A foul odor invaded my nostrils.

“A pie in the garbage?”

A yellow Earth pony stallion came trotting up to me.

“Rainbow Dash threw that pie away.”

“That’s such a shame!”

“Apparently, some ponies are very wasteful these days.”

I trotted into Sugarcube Corner—a building that looked like a gingerbread house.

“I’d like to buy the very kind of pie that Rainbow Dash bought.”

A blue Earth pony mare sold me the pie.

“There you go, dear.”

---

“Get that pie away from me!”

“EEP!”

“I’m sorry I scared you, Fluttershy. I just can’t stand the taste of pie.”

“Can’t you take just one bite of it?”

“No. I tried pie once already, and once is enough.”

“But didn’t you like it?”

“No—I hated it!”

“Oh, dear!”

---

“Erm—Pinkie?”

“Ye-e-e-e-es?”

“Rainbow Dash doesn’t like pie. She told me so herself.”

Pinkie Pie broke into tears.

“It’s OK, Pinkie. Everypony’s different.”

“You’re right, Fluttershy!”

“Do you promise never to tell anypony else that Rainbow doesn’t like pie?”

“Cross my heart and hope to fly; stick a cupcake in my eye!”
